Forbidden Ice is a thrilling blend of action, mystery, and just the right dose of romance, the kind that makes your heart race and keeps you turning pages late into the night!

I was instantly pulled into Wren’s story. She starts off as your classic badass heroine, but there’s so much more beneath the surface. Her past? Twisted, emotional, and packed with secrets that hit like plot twist grenades!
And Jake? Oh, Jake. Certified book boyfriend material. He’s the perfect mix of intense, protective, and irresistibly enigmatic, basically, everything you want wrapped up in one swoon-worthy package.

The scenes with Hunter? Comedy gold 😅 Cynthia Eden has a real talent for crafting side characters who shine just as brightly as the leads. They’re clever, unpredictable, and add that perfect layer of levity to the tension!

If you’re craving a read that’s gripping, fast-paced, and delivers both thrills and feels,this is it!

Wren and Jacob will suck you in. This is an excellent romantic suspense with humor, steam, and lots of action. The story kept me guessing. I was shocked by the reveal! This series delivers every time! I cannot wait for the next book.

Jacob “Jake” Jones has stayed away from Wren Maye as he believes that she loves his twin brother, Ebenezer aka Eb. Until he receives a text from Eb, only two words, Protect Wren. He arrives barely in time to save her from being kidnapped. Who could be after sweet Wren…everyone loves her! Assuming that it is someone after him and his brother, he now refuses to leave her side. Wren knows that Jake believes that she loves his brother, and she does, but only as a friend. Even though Eb is in the CIA, he is believed to be the more engaging brother while Jake is definitely rough around the edges…and everywhere else. He is the only man she has ever wanted! She is not the weak woman that Jake believes her to be as she survived a truly dark past. He is unaware of what she has lived through and seen that no one should ever have seen. Again, she is almost taken, but he is there again to save her. When her friend is kidnapped, Jake vows to find her, but things are not always as they seem and their attempt to find her explodes out of control. It will be a fight to the death and who will be left standing? There are so many twists, suspense, danger and hot romance that you won’t want to miss one word! I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation for an honest review. (paytonpuppy)

Protect Wren...

Jake's twin brother Eb sends Jake to protect their friend Wren, who they grew up with. Jake is not very bright, as for years he's thought Wren and his twin brother Eb are an item. Even though Wren has crushed had on Jake the whole time. Jake only does one night stands and Eb sleeps with everyone and Wren has now only ever slept with Jake. Oh, and someone from the twins past is targeting Wren to make the twins pay. So, of course Jake has to pretend he's Wren's lover in a one bed situation.

Wren has always been attracted to Jake, the dark twin who happily wears his darkness as a cloak. Though Jake has been obsessed with Wren for years, he fails to see her interest in him and her own darkness that is even darker than his an that she carries her own scars and demons.
Dang it! Cynthia Eden knocked it out of the ball park with this suspenseful and steamy read that is packed with action.
Buckle up, babes!

Forbidden Ice (Ice Breaker Cold Case Romance #13) has Cynthia Eden’s signature all over it. What is it, you ask? First of all it is men who protect others but feel that they are not heroes but bad men. Then women who are stronger than the men or even themselves believe. Add in danger that never stops coming along with the suspense of solving where the danger is actually coming from and from whom. In addition is the chemistry that no matter how much it is denied cannot be cooled down but ramps up even more as the couple are in close proximity. Best of all, a happy ending which in this case is not only for Jake and Wren but for another couple too. Ice Breaker fans will love this new addition to the series while all other romance suspense fans will want to read the entire series after reading Forbidden Ice.

Get ready for a fast paced book that will keep you turning the pages. There is a twist that caught me by surprise. This book is part of a series but easily stands on its own. Thank you to net galley for an advanced readers copy.

Protect Wren!!

Jacob “Jake” Jones’s has been sent by his brother to protect the woman he’s been in love with for years but she’s his brother’s girl. Maybe!

“Fine, he’s scary hot,”

Wren has lived a nightmare as a young girl. She’s been hiding for years. Her secrets are about to be exposed.
Let me tell you these brothers are bad to the bone. You’ll fall in love and be hooked from beginning to end.
There is nothing better than an adventure by this amazing author.

I absolutely love Cynthia Eden’s books and this one was no different. She always keeps me guessing on who the bad guy is while delivering a steamy romance with the best touch her and die vibes. The chemistry was off the charts with enough funny moments to keep it from getting too heavy. Alpha hero + badass heroine = a book you will struggle to put down.
